Title: Kimber Eclipse Custom vs Springfield TRP 1911 in 10mm HELP
Post by: BullMagnet76 on September 12, 2018, 08:52:26 PM: So I am looking for a new 1911 in 10mm, Ive got it narrowed down to either the Kimber Eclipse Custom or the Springfeild TRP. I was wondering if anyone could help me narrow it down.

Post by: CAMPMEAT on September 12, 2018, 09:21:24 PM: The double stack 15+1 or might be 16+1 10mm Rock Island Armory 1911. I wouldn't buy an 8 shot gun.

Cheaper, but they've been building 1911's 3 times as long as Kimber or Springfield I bet.

I have heard nothing but good things about the Rock Island 10mm’s. If a guy wanted a double stack 10, it would be worth checking out.

Post by: highside74 on September 12, 2018, 09:42:03 PM: My buddy has a Rock Island and it is a very nice gun. I have a Sig Tacops in 45 and love it also. Kimber is more name than quality anymore. They are not as great as they used to be. I would go Sig, Rock Island, Springfield then Kimber. When i was looking it was between Sig and Springfield and i found a safe queen Sig for $700 and couldnt pass it up. I would have bought the Rock Island Tac Ultra if i would have seen one before I found the Sig.

That'd be my suggestion as well.

I have a couple Sig 1911 TACOPS, one of them is a 10mm. They're a great gun.

Post by: thinkingman on September 13, 2018, 09:23:08 AM: If you want a real 1911, it doesn't have an external extractor.
That rules out Sig right away.
I'd buy the Springer myself.
Title: Re: Kimber Eclipse Custom vs Springfield TRP 1911 in 10mm HELP
Post by: Biggerhammer on September 13, 2018, 10:32:19 AM: I was wondering who would mention a external bullet proof extractor first. The 1911 purists are kept awake at night at the mention of a external extractor. 1911’s can be temperamental with functioning well with a wide variety of loads. Sig’s external extractor design is bullet proof.

That's funny. My Sig 1911's obviously have external extractors and they sure seem like real guns to me. They even shoot real bullets and everything.

Here, maybe if you only look at them from this side they'll be more like a "real" 1911. :chuckle:

Needs more gadgets.

Even a Glock goes 'bang' and shoots real bullets.

I noticed Sig doesn't show any of their '1911s' from the right side.
Somebody in their marketing department agrees.
